Our long lost friends Neel and Reshma, and their 2 lovely children Zara and Cian came over to visit today. It was actually quite a massive effort to tidy the house to be somewhat presentable for visitors, but worth the effort! We had a big lunch, then went for a walk to the forest across the road. There were so many puddles which had turned to ice, and the kids had a grand time breaking out pieces of ice to carry around or else smashing the icy puddles by stomping.
Tryfan and Cian were fast friends, but Zara was quite shy to start with. Smashing ice seemed to help the bonding between the girls! It was absolutely gorgeous light and such a pleasure to be outside in the cold clear air.
After coming back inside, Zara and Rhiannon got their laptops out and exchanged email addresses, then showed each other various games and tricks they knew on their respective computers.
It was a lovely day that even included a game of Family Trivial Pursuit - Auntie Sions gave us this game which has a stack of cards for children and a separate stack for adults so everyone can play together. Its really fun! We were so glad that Neel and Resh could make the time to come out and see us.
PS. Yes, Rhiannon got a laptop for Christmas from us, which we consider to be quite a big step! She is extremely happy about this gift though!
